   Description: 
      Abstract: The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk 
      Information And supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk; 
      classificatons used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-
      annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is 
      derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance 
      Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and 
      FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by 
      the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to 
      earth's surface using the UTM projection and coordinate system. The specifications 
      for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for 
      mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.
      Purpose: The FIRM is the basis for floodplain management, mitigation, and insurance 
      activities for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Insurance applications 
      include enforcement of the mandatory purchase requirement of the Flood Disaster 
      Protection Act, which ''... requires the purchase of flood insurance by property 
      owners who are being assisted by Federal programs or by Federally supervised, 
      regulated or insured agencies or institutions in the acquisition or improvement of 
      land facilities located or to be located in identified areas having special flood 
      hazards,'' Section 2 (b) (4) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. In addition to 
      the identification of Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs), the risk zones shown on the 
      FIRMs are the basis for the establishment of premium rates for flood coverage 
      offered through the NFIP. The DFIRM Database presents the flood risk information 
      depicted on the FIRM in a digital format suitable for use in electronic mapping 
      applications. The DFIRM database is a subset of the Digital FIS database that serves 
      to archive the information collected during the FIS.

   Use_Constraints: The hardcopy FIRM and the accompanying FISs are the official designation of 
    SFHAs and Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) for the NFIP. For the purposes of the NFIP, 
    changes to the flood risk information published by FEMA may only be performed by FEMA 
    and through the mechanisms established in the NFIP regulation (44 CFR Parts 59-78). 
    These digital data are produced in conjunction with the hardcopy FIRMs and generally 
    match the hardcopy map exactly. However the hardcopy flood maps and flood profiles 
    are the authoritative documents for the NFIP. Acknowledgement of FEMA would be 
    appreciated in products derived from these data.

Data_Quality_Information: 
   Attribute_Accuracy: 
      Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The DFIRM Database consists of countywide vector files and associated 
      attributes produced in conjunction with the hard copy FEMA Flood Insurance Rate 
      Map (FIRM). The published effective FIRM and DFIRM maps are issued as the official 
      designation of the SFHAs. As such they are adopted by local communities and form 
      the basis for administration of the NFIP. For these purposes, they are authoritative. 
      Provisions exist in the regulations for public review, appeals and corrections of the 
      flood risk information shown to better match real world conditions. As with any
      engineering analysis of this type, variation from the estimated flood heights and 
      floodplain boundaries is possible. Details of FEMA's requirements for the FISs and 
      flood mapping process that produces these data are available in the Guidelines and 
      Specifications for Flood Map Production Coordination Contractors. Attribute accuracy 
      was tested by manual comparison of source graphics with hardcopy plots and a 
      symbolized display on an interactive computer graphic system. Independent quality 
      control testing of FEMA 's DFIRM database was also performed. To obtain more 
      detailed information in areas where Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) and/or floodways 
      have been determined, users are encouraged to consult the Flood Profiles and 
      Floodway Data and/or Summary of Stillwater Elevations tables contained within the 
      FIS report that accompanies this DFIRM database. Users should be aware that BFEs 
      shown in the S_BFE table represent rounded whole-foot elevations. These BFEs are 
      intended for flood insurance rating purposes only and should not be used as the sole 
      source of flood elevation information. Accordingly, flood elevation data presented in 
      the FIS report must be used in conjunction with the FIRM for purposes of construction 
      and/or floodplain management. The 1-percent-annual-chance water-surface 
      elevations shown in the S_XS table match the regulatory elevations shown in the FIS 
      report.
   Logical_Consistency_Report: When FEMA revises a FIS, adjacent studies are checked to ensure agreement 
    between flood elevations at the boundaries. Likewise, flood elevations at the confluence 
    of streams studied independently are checked to ensure agreement at the confluence. 
    The FIRM and the FIS are developed together and care is taken to ensure that the 
    elevations and other features shown on the flood profiles in the FIS agree with the 
    information shown on the FIRM. However, the elevations as shown on the FIRM are 
    rounded whole-foot elevations. They must be shown so that a profile recreated from the 
    elevations on the FIRM will match the FIS profiles within one half of one foot.</
   Completeness_Report: Data contained in the DFIRM Database files reflect the content of the source 
    materials. Features may have been eliminated or generalized on the source graphic, due 
    to scale and legibility constraints. With new mapping, FEMA plans to maintain full detail 
    in the spatial data it produces. However, older information is often transferred from 
    existing maps where some generalization has taken place. Flood risk data are developed 
    for communities participating in the NFIP for use in insurance rating and for floodplain 
    management. Flood hazard areas are determined using statistical analyses of records of 
    river flow, storm tides, and rainfall; information obtained through consultation with the 
    communities; floodplain topographic surveys; and hydrological and hydraulic analysis. 
    Both detailed and approximate analyses are employed. Generally, detailed analyses are 
    used to generate flood risk data only for developed or developing areas of communities. 
    For areas where little or no development is expected to occur, FEMA uses approximate 
    analyses to generate flood risk data. Typically, only drainage areas that are greater than 
    one square mile are studied.

      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: 
         Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The DFIRM Database consists of countywide vector files and associated  
        attributes produced in conjunction with the hardcopy FEMA FIRM. The published  
        hardcopy FEMA FIRM. The published effective FIRM and DFIRM are issued as the

        accuracy was tested by manual comparison of source graphics with hardcopy 
        plots and a symbolized display on an interactive computer graphic system. 
        Independent quality control testing of FEMA's DFIRM database was also /r/nperformed.

        checked for accuracy and compliance with FEMA standards.

   Overview_Description: 
      Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: The DFIRM Database is made up of several data themes containing both 
      spatial and attribute information. These data together represent the current flood 
      risk for the subject area as identified by FEMA. The attribute tables include SFHA 
      locations, flood zone designation, BFEs, political entities, cross-section locations, 
      FIRM panel information, and other data related to the NFIP.
      Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: Appendix L of FEMA Guidelines and Specifications for FEMA Flood Hazard 
      Mapping Partners contains a detailed description of each attribute code and a 
      reference to other relevant information.
